Education

Experience

My name is Liz Nearis; I have an elementary education degree from the University of Tampa with an endorsement in ESOL, and am CPR/First-Aid certified.

In the summer of 2008 I nannied for a family in which one of the children had Asperger's Syndrome and will be working with that family this summer as well. In that time I was able to work one-on-one with him in variety of settings, both academic and personal.

From August of 2009 until June of 2010 I was a live-in nanny for three children ages 6, 9, and 11 in the Back Bay, averaging more than fifty hours per week. My duties included but were not limited to a variety of tasks involving childcare and household management; I was responsible for providing homework assistance and utilized tutoring skills daily, was accountable for driving responsibilities for the children (approximately 25 hours per week), prepared breakfast and assisted in dinner preparation and clean-up and also performed various organizational and assistant-like tasks throughout time employed (running errands, organizing home offices, etc.) .

In September I finished a yearlong position nannying for a family of four children in Wellesley, Ma Monday through Friday from 7:30-4:00 pm. My main responsibility was the care of twin girls who are two years old.

I am currently a lead teacher in an after school program in Watertown from 2:30-6:00. I also am nannying for a 7 month-old three days a week and subbing in a pre-school in Cambridge.

From my extensive experience I am confident that I would be an asset to your family and I would love to set up a time to meet and discuss employment. I live in Cambridge in between Porter and Harvard Squares.

Hobbies

In my free time I love to read, exercise and spend time with friends and family. In the summer I love to sail, spend time on the Cape, and go to concerts.
